Dana Lashes Absurd Truth podcast, sponsored by Keltec. It's his life mission to make bad decisions. It's time for Florida man. This guy is 40 years old. I'm sorry.

He's 40 years old. This guy is supposed to be 40 years old. He's 40 years over 20? Dude, Kane and I are freaking out over this. So a Florida man dressed up as a clown was taken down. I'm going to get through it. Florida man dressed as a clown was taken down by officers for allegedly trespassing and there's footage. It was Palm Bay. 40-year-old Christopher Marlowe was charged with

trespassing after a warning and he was, he clashed with police officers. This was just the other day at a shopping plaza and they said that he'd already been banned from the plaza prior to the incident. He had a blanket, they were going to get him for blanket trespass. He was yelling to himself, loitering and, quote, serving no purpose on the property. He was described as aggressive and he said, quote, I'm not trespassed. I'm going to come back. Blank y'all. Oh, look at that. Yeah. And the Palm Bay Police Department shared a compilation

of the body camera footage with the circus with circus music. And it showed his arrest. And he's there. Now, it says clown, but King clearly That's a looks like a Ronald McDonald outfit. It does. He balled

up his fist and they said took a bladed stance and was challenging them to fight him. They go, you look like a clown. said one of the arresting officers, and he says, quote, I am a clown. Okay. I guess his name's not happy. No, his name is. And then he clearly was not going to comply when they asked for him to get his mugshot,

standing there with his mouth gaping open with his teeth. It's generous to make it plural. Yeah, his tea. It's very generous. Oh, my gosh. All right, all right, all right, I got to move on. So we also have a Florida. Oh, I got the meth.

we had the meth underwear one already. This Florida man was accused of firing his rifle for target practice at his apartment after watching a military movie. Christopher Gaffney was accused 30 years old. He fired a rifle outside of his apartment complex. Apparently there were kids playing in the yard. Not his kids, just some kids. He's facing charges. Apparently he was drunk.

So they're saying that he was using it under the influence and he is currently in jail. He says, I was watching a military movie and it made him one. to get out and make a makeshift target out of a tree and all this. And he made up, fashioned up a target that he missed multiple times. He didn't hit anything. Not even in the target, thankfully. So, yeah, he's got in trouble for that. Our partners that help make the program possible, our friends at Keltec, the PR-57 rotary

Where have I heard that before? Well, the Signal Foundation is, it's an open source private technology. is what it is

and it's the app that interestingly enough featured in the story this week came do you believe in coincidences as it relates to anything regarding politics because I don't

there is no such thing as a coincidence in politics if you're in DC and you're like huh this seems like a coincidence that's the equivalent of Neo seeing the cat the same cat, which I, by the way, I thought that was a horrible way to do deja vu.

That's not what deja vu was. Then my only criticism about the first matrix. Remember we had deja vu and he saw the same cat? It's like, that's the feeling. When things become too just, hmm, coincidental and politics or anything related to DC anything, that is a red sign. That's a red flag. And she has been president of NPR for about a year now.

she took over last year. And she's chair at the board of the Signal Foundation. I don't think that she stepped down. I mean, not at least that I've seen. So that seems to be problematic. She apparently also was an appointed member of the U.S. Department of State's Foreign Affairs Policy Board where she advises Secretary of State on Tech Policy.

Here's why I bring this up. She's one of those super woke scolds, right? Big-time woke-sgold. according to her own tweets. It's not like we're making this up about her just because she's at NPR. I mean, this is like according to her own actual tweets. So she's this big Wilkesgold. And she was before a House subcommittee yesterday testifying about this, you know,

it's an ongoing examination in the wake of the U.S. aid money and the waste, fraud, and abuse. and she was testifying, answering questions for members of Congress. And it was really interesting because, you know, members of Congress are going to do their due diligence on her. And they're going to have looked at her tweets. They're going to have looked, or her posts on X, rather. They're going to have looked at all this. so I don't know why you would obfuscate or deflect or, you know, whatever it is. So she is totally caught off guard.

She's answering these questions in this subcommittee hearing. And this is after she had, you know, already come asking for more taxpayer dollars, etc. And she got caught in a web of her own insanity. This is, and I'm glad to see him doing this, because I previously did not like the stunt with the thing, the $100 bill, whatever. And I'm like, oh, we got to get serious about all this stuff. This is exactly, I think, what Brendan Gill should be doing. He's a congressman from Texas from my area. And it was his questioning.

And this was really, I thought this was really good for a number of reasons. Let me set this up. I think he's a millennial, but he has this borrowed Gen Z cynicism that you can only have gotten from being associated with Gen X. You know what I mean? There's this Gen X cynicism

and a Gen Z delivery that I thought goes over really well here. It made me think of the ramen noodle guy. Remember the guy who was munching just legit a package of ramen noodles and he was correcting what's his face, Cuomo. I got those vibes

from this. Everybody has their own niche to fill and they have their own style. And I think if Gil keeps doing this because he's a freshman congressman, I think if he keeps doing this, this is going to be a completely empty space that

not many people can occupy. So he's there in the hearing. And I didn't pay too much attention to the stack of papers that he had. literally right at his right side until he lifted them up. Now, it's a little long, but it's actually hysterical. The nuance in his voice and then the way he kind of like shrugs his eyebrows when he's questioning her, it's just comical.

It is hysterical. You need to watch this. Listen to how this exchange goes down. Miss Marr, I want to start with you just generally. Would you say you generally agree or disagree with the following statement? The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles? I would not say I take that. That's good to hear.

It's interesting because a lot of your thinking, as expressed by your public statements, is deeply infused with economic and cultural Marxism. Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy? I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade. It has evolved. Why did you tweet that? I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't be able to say.

Okay. Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and white democracy? I don't believe that, sir. You tweeted that in reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently, the case for reparations. I don't think I've ever read that book, sir. You tweeted about it. He said you took a day off to fully read the case for reparations.

You put that on Twitter in January of 2020. I apologize. I don't recall that I did. I'm no doubt that your tweet there is correct, but I don't recall that. Okay. Do you believe that white people inherently feel superior to other races? I do not. You don't.

You tweeted something to that effect. You said, I grew up feeling superior, ha, how white of me. Why did you tweet that? I think I was probably reflecting on what it was to be, to grow up in an environment where I had lots of advantages. It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior. I don't believe that anybody feels that way, sir. I was just reflecting on my own experiences. Do you think that white people should pay reparations? I have never said that, sir.

Yes, you did. In January 2020, you tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of us, yes, America. Yes, our original collective sin and unpaid debt. reparations, yes, on this day. I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir. What kind of reparations was it a reference to? I think that's just a reference to the idea that we all owe

much to the people who came before us. My favorite part of this whole thing. There's two. The first one is he goes, he's holding up the paper and he goes, yes, you did. And then when he's like, when he looks right at it and he raises his eyebrows and he's like

so you think that you know, people should pay it was hysterical why do i like this so much i thought about this because normally the and i'm going to get yes i'm going to get to the the thing where he was you know the meat potatoes that he's actually questioning the npr ceo or president there's a reason why i like this so much and i think that this stands out to me because it's a different type of gop we have and I'm going to deep dive with you here for a second. So hold on with me.

For the past eight years, and I'm not saying I don't like this style, but we've had this for the past eight years. A very confrontational, in your face, brawler type of messaging and response. And I get it because I'm one of the people who's been doing it since 2008, before then, really. So I get it. I think that there's a time for that.

But I also think that many Republicans have forgotten how to play that. There's a time for it. And many Republicans have forgotten that there is a time for it, that you just do it all the time. And with this attention, economy, clickbait culture, that's rewarded. The more bombastic. And I'm not saying it's bad. But sometimes after a while, it seems performative. You know what I mean?

It seems performative. It seems as though you're doing it for the purpose of theatrics rather than genuine out. I mean, yes, your outrage. But to that degree, I don't know. And not everybody in D.C. is a good enough actor. And I think that's why this stood out to me so much. Because it was so effective without trying to be. There was not a, you know, perfectly polished, focused group soundbite that Gill delivered.

and a lot of these lawmakers, they have their, you know, their comebacks ready to go and they got the cameras ready. And they know exactly they're going to pull this for some B-roll footage for a campaign ad. They got it already. I didn't get that with this. It was very organic. And there was a sense, it almost met the measure of smarmyness, but it didn't. He was respectful, but very cynical. It was one of those where, I mean, he was.

he would moot for the purpose of moving on. He'd go, okay. And then he would move on and ask the next thing. But it was the tone and the, I mean, he was well prepared and I mean, him holding up that piece of paper was just like that ramen noodle dude, man.

Yes, you did. Yeah, you did. And he just shows her. It was organic. And that made it hysterical. There is, I think this is what Republicans need to develop more because you have people like Marjorie Taylor Green, very theatrical,

Nancy Grace, very performative. I'm not knocking them. I'm just saying that's what that's they're very, very performative. Performative outrage. This here, what we see with Gil is organic and almost like a Gen X brand of organic cynicism. And it plays so well. It's like arrested development meet Schitt's Creek. Right? I think that's why I like it so much. Because he's not trying to like, well, yeah, well, what? He's not trying to do that.

He's just a cynic. And he's just sitting there like, yeah, you did. And, you know, it would say, when you believe reparations, he's got like this, like, a tenor, like grit in his voice. It's very Gen X, but Gen Z delivery. Don't you agree, Kane? Isn't that, I think that's why. It works so well.

Yeah. And do you agree with my point about, I think we're getting tired of the overperformative outrage theater? Yes. Because all we've seen as Democrats do is turn the volume up on that. And it clearly is a turnoff to most of the country. And Republicans respond by also turning up the volume. And then nobody gets any.

You learned more about this woman in those two minutes and six seconds with that line of questioning because he allowed her to talk. He wasn't trying to like, but also you knew exactly who was leading whom here. There's no question. I think Republicans need to adopt more of this, but I also think that I can't see Marjorie Taylor Green doing this. And not an ounce of hyperbole. No, no hyperbole at all. That's right. All the Democrats use. And some Republicans, that's why I'm like, I want to see more of this because that was hysterical. Yeah, you did. That's hysterical. And I don't know why that's not like a meme because it's funny. It was funny.

I watched it like three times. It was hysterical. Yes, you did. Like, do you think white people should pay reparations? I never said that. Yeah, it holds out, yeah, you did. It's just funny. Folks who help make it possible, it's our partners over at all-family pharmacy.

Variety reports that the first footage, I guess the trailer, it's the first, the first trailer that they came out with has been released.

They're still going to open that in theaters. This is after Alec Baldwin shot and killed Elena Hutchins, although he insisted a ghost pulled the trigger, apparently. And it's been released, and they're going to go, I wonder if that's going to feature in their family's reality show, where she pretends to be Spanish more than the wife. I have zero courtesy for them or for, it's just horrific. This is unbelievable. I saw this headling this morning.

A heartless dad crashed. This is actually a weird story, because I've never heard of a dad doing this. A heartless dad crashed at 100 miles per hour and then fled the scene leaving his injured wife and kids behind. And it happened in Texas near Houston. It was a Chevy avalanche, cut the speeding, driving that he was driving, cut the speeding car off while turning into a gas station. And he cut somebody off and they had an accident. And the Ford shot into the air.

It was a family. And a Ford Expedition, that's the car that the dad was driving. one of the children, an eight-year-old girl, was ejected upon impact. The Chevy ended up in the guardrail. The father ran from his family without hesitation, according to the Houston Police Department. He sprinted off, jumped into another car, and then drove him away from the horror crash. They said he ran over the babies. He jumped over the babies, the mom and everywhere, everybody, according to the driver of the Chevy.

He said the mom was bleeding everywhere. He said, I had no idea what was going through his mind at the time or why he felt like he needed to flee. the family was rushed to nearby hospitals. They're expected to survive. Two of the three victims are in stable but critical condition. I hope the woman's seen a divorce lawyer. And yeah, I would absolutely

straight up leave a man over that. I don't. You're damn right, I would. Oh, boy. What's weird is I never heard of dad doing this before. I have never heard a story. It's always the dad that pulls the mom out of the wreckage. And we've actually read stories

like that. That's why this is so weird to me. What did he like, I don't know, was it planned? I don't know. Oh, I'm trying not to be like mystery science theater, murder mystery with us, but I really kind of want to be. Oh boy. You guys saw this video, the woman at our precious little airport, our little airport, which they've remodeled and it's all clean until this woman stripped naked and stormed for Terminal D. Terminal D is like one of the craziest. It's an international terminal, so it's a big crazy terminal. because everybody does all the international flights. It's bigger than the others.

It's crazier than the others. She only had a plastic water bottle, and she was screaming at nobody. And then she screamed, I speak all languages, buck naked. And they did actually detain her. It just, gosh, she wasn't a chunky. She wouldn't a chunk one. Normally they are. She wasn't.

So stick with us. We got more in store. I don't know of any film now that's been out lately that I'm really excited to see. like now you stream it you don't rent it you just stream it further i don't even hardly go to the theater anymore and i love good films but so much of it is garbage because it's just unimaginative it's derivative it's just remakings of something else that was a remake of something else that was also a remake it's just it's insane and i wanted to come back because there keep there are further developments with this whole thing with the snow white so keep this in mind when snow

White came out. When that film first came out, I read that it was incredibly popular. Everybody wanted to see it. It was like their most, their Disney's, their most iconic legacy title, I think, was how it was described. And they merged like crazy off of it. And think about it. You had the Cinderella, you know, they started doing all these, these other remakes, especially the live action remakes, which never translate well. And I don't know what it is, but Disney has a difficulty in picking actors. that can't shut the hell up. Like the chick who, Hermione from Harry Potter, who was Beauty from Beauty and the Beast,

I'm one of those people that think if you're going to be casting in roles like that, you need to live up to the hype. I mean, she's pretty, but is she like beauty from Beauty and the Beast? No. You're telling me that there's no, but they want a name, right? Although I don't think that maybe they're going to have to reevaluate it. I just think that they should maybe,

if your name is beauty and you're a Disney princess, maybe be beautiful. You know what I'm saying? it's not hard to I'm not being mean stop it stop it I'm well aware of my own

limitations and shortcomings I'm saying I can also point them out in others so I just think maybe you'd be beautiful if you're and if you're gonna be snow white she

will not apparently be quiet on social media and I've seen a lot of debate this Rachel Zegler girl will people say oh she's like this 21 year old girl you know, it's so mean that the studio executives put her in this position. And then someone commented on the Instagram account of apparently the son of the

producer of the Snow White producer. Mark Platt is the producer of Snow, like one of it, but he's like the exact producer. His son, Jonah Platt, someone made that. exact comment that I was talking about on his social media account. And he went off. He said, this is what the comment was.

Because Mark Platt was the dad apparently that flew to New York to talk with Rachel Zegler. The commenter said to Jonah Platt about his dad, quote, your dad flew to New York City to reprimand a young actress. Any words on this? Because that's creepy as hell and uncalled for. People have the right to free speech, no. Shame on your father.

Jonah Platt writes, you really want to do this? Yeah, my dad, the producer of an enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20-year-old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting a movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for. This is called adult responsibility and accountability, and her actions clearly hurt the film's box office. Free speech does not mean you're allowed to say whatever you want, your private employment without repercussions. Tens of thousands of people worked on that film, and she

hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires and at the risk of all of her colleagues and crew and blue-collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful. He added, and I thought this was chef's kiss, narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged. He made a good point because a lot of people were coming out and saying, oh, well, Rachel Zegler, who would not, she was the chick who came out was like Trump supporter. What did she say? Basically, Trump supporters go to hell don't see my movie or something like that. I don't even remember what she said, but it was something so stupid and ridiculous. And then she just kept, she was like, vote Kamala. And then she said free Palestine and all the stupid, which doesn't exist. So how can you free it?

So, and she, her behavior, especially over Gaza, this chick who was born, again, why are all of these trust fund socialists? They're born rich. Like the Jasmine Crockett, the Rachel Zegler, they all come from money. They grew up with money. That's why they're in the films and the movies and all where they are because they had all of these opportunities that their mommy and daddy's money bought them. And so she's like so far removed from what's happening in the Middle East. The closest that she came to it was probably a history class she took in school while she was being tutored on set. Let's get real. But they were making her sound like she's like this helpless and just this helpless little kid, right? Which is so far from the truth, if you're 20 and 21 years old,

dear heavens, I had my own roof over my own head when it was 21 years old. And I didn't grow up in the Great Depression. Okay. I was, I'm baby. Gen X. I was a 90s kid. So I can't stand this spinning that. Oh, I can't, you can't be responsible if you're this, you know, you're this old and you can't, you can't do any of this. I find that so that's not an excuse. And also when you're in the position that she's in, you have an agent, you have a manager. You have somebody that's special that looks over your finances. You have, goodness, you. You have, goodness, you. You have a, obviously your parents and your family and all of these people around you. When you sign a contract, you have your manager look at it, your agent. She's got a manager and an agent. So you have all of those people, probably an extra, you know, an attorney, your own attorney. All of these people that are advising you on what to do, the decisions to make, and also how to act.

and this idea that she's just out there floating in the ether with no guidance or direction, and that's what's intimated by this, is pretty, it's asinine. So she has a team of people that work with her. When you're signing multi-million dollar contracts to be in movies, you're doing a job. 20 and 21-year-olds are not children. They're grown people. Stop infantilizing people as a way to excuse them of their bad behavior. she's just an entitled mouthy brat and it's starting to look cringe because you can't be a brat

anymore when you're 20 or 21 you're a grown-ass woman stop it either be empowered or be a baby but pick a lane so now she's feeling the full weight of these consequences of her actions and you know they're and apparently like the there's all this stuff leaking out like the set energy was real bad and apparently her behavior with regards to Gaza was so bad. Gal Godot started getting death threats like crazy because Rachel Zegler wouldn't. Apparently according to what Vanity Fair and everybody else was saying, she wouldn't stop running her mouth. And as a result, endangered her co-star, who's a mother of four. I mean, she also literally just had a baby. So I don't know if you saw that came out. I have that in my substack that I sent out to you

subscribers. So she was getting tons of death threats from what this crazy stuff that her co-star was saying. And that's kind of, that's, how do you, she had extra security when she was going out just, just preparing and promoting the film. And I don't think a lot of people gave that enough attention. I mean, that's, that's, you know, that's, it's pretty unbelievable. And they were trying to say, oh, well, there's, there's controversy also by they, I mean, the press. Oh, there's controversy also because of Galgado. There was no controversy because of Galgado. She's Israeli. That's, you know, she's not controversial just because she's Israeli.

So I, I, I, I don't know. I, she just won't stop talking. Audio Soundbite 19. She just won't stop talking. And to everyone who hates when I win, the wind victory came to the Louvre in pieces. What? And people still line up to see her. She's such a bad actress. And I can only hope that despite my flaws, dramatic pause, and despite my cracks and my breaks, and there are many of them. Cleashid words and cliched acting. That at every premiere and everything I do, people will wait in line to see. They're not, though. No one's literally nobody's there in the theater. So she rented out a whole theater for herself, didn't she? Or was that what I read? Or she probably didn't have to. It was money wasted. Nobody's going to see it. They're all empty.

Yeah, nobody's going to see it. She just seems that's, she's like an avatar for the liberal mentality. And apparently nobody in her life is directing her any different. And that's really a letdown by her management and her agent. When you have Disney executives meeting with you telling you, can you stop promoting Hamas? And yeah, when you're out there saying, you know, free Palestine, that's exactly what you're doing. Palestine's a fake place that doesn't exist. Hamas is a terror group. And the people that voted for Hamas are terrorists, too.

If you don't know enough about an issue, we don't, we have a vain society that thinks that it doesn't matter if they don't know enough about a particular issue. The world deserves their opinion anyway. We deserve the burden of these dumbass's opinions. They think it doesn't matter if they don't know. She doesn't know. And think about it. You have Disney executives flying across the country because you're running a mouth about a foreign policy ongoing conflict. And then you are attacking half of the country, half of the country's voters, going after and maligning people who voted one way.

And she wouldn't take anything down. And then when it was like a half-hearted kind of apology, not really an apology, some are saying, oh, well, you know, you can't you shouldn't cancel this girl you shouldn't you shouldn't go this is not about cancellation please don't use words that you don't understand because then we all have to take time out of our day and correct it this is about accountability don't mistake for the purpose of deflection accountability with cancelability they're two entirely different things you don't get a pass on your stupid actions by screaming cancel don't cancel me as some sort of like inoculation that's not how this works If you do something stupid, yeah, you tend to have to reap the consequences of that something stupid.

It's not, like I said, difficult. So that's what this is. You're not immune from consequence. And this wasn't about free speech. No one stopped her from saying it. They're just not protecting her from the consequences of her own choices. And that's what a lot of these people that scream about free speech, particularly foreign students who are here, who are acting out in ways that violate the agreements of their own. permission to visit.

No one's stopping anybody from saying anything, but there is a consequence to being stupid and demanding that you being protected from the consequence of the stupid thing that you did or said. That's not free speech. You're just demanding a pass. Thanks for tuning in to today's edition
